Rodney Alexander has resigned as secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs less than a year after resigning from Congress to take the job.

Alexander told The News-Star he and Paul Rainwater, Gov. Bobby Jindal's former commissioner of administration, will form a lobbying firm. Alexander insisted he won't run for his old job as the 5th District congressman.
